Welcome to Talking Together in Cambridgeshire’s third Festival of Stories which will run from Wednesday, 21 February and Wednesday, 28 February 2024.
Our Festival of Stories will shine a light on how stories can be used in fun and interactive ways to bring a sparkle of magic to the every day, and how they can be used to boost young children’s communication, language, and literacy skills. Our festival will also highlight how stories can help young children feel safe and connected to others, and help them better understand the world we live in.
This year we will be focusing on Caring For Our Planet. There are lots of ways we can look after our planet, but we throw away too many things and make too much rubbish. Families of children from birth to five are invited to join our festival to experience magical tales, learn how to help take better care of our planet, and join in with activities that will help nature thrive. We want to work together with families across our communities to make a difference, and so throughout our festival, we are going to focus on three Rs:
"It is recognised that we will not save what we do not love and that we rarely love what we cannot name". - Robert Macfarlane, The Lost Words.
